## Key points

- Nate Silver speculated Trump could quit before his term ends.
- Democrats made major gains in the midterm elections.
- Silver said Trump could become isolated and lose influence.

## Summary

Nate Silver has suggested that Donald Trump might leave office before his term ends, saying he has a “weird intuition” that Trump could quit if he becomes isolated. Silver also argued that Trump has weakened other Republican figures and lost some of his leverage over the party, while former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson described the possibility as plausible.

Silver’s comments followed a strong Democratic performance in the midterm elections, which he had forecast as a “blue tsunami”. The article reports Democrats had secured 253 House seats, with 25 contests undecided, and seven Senate seats, with two still in play; it also says they won governor’s races in 29 states. Silver said a Democratic sweep would leave Trump a “super lame duck” and suggested he might step aside to give JD Vance the advantages of incumbency.
